Perhaps the mad cow outbreak and the Cruise quote are connected. I've really wondered for some time.

This is why our household beef comes from a steer raised by someone we know, because we know exactly what he ate throughout his life. He was pasture-raised, with a bit of grain supplement, and never put into a feedlot or fed animal byproducts of any kind.

I do not thing I will ever buy supermarket beef again. On the contrary, I'm trying to figure out how much it will cost to fence my pasture and build stalls in my barn so I can raise a steer here at home.
